With heavy silver chains, leather gloves, black painted nails and a 40
cm long fauxhawk all eyes are immediately drawn to Bill Kaulitz (20)!
In the interview the frontman of Tokio Hotel appears like an average
and likeable boy. Prima Donna behaviour = zero! But the popstar still
enjoyed his bath in the crowd on sunday at the Potsdamer Platz.
Occasion: The new Fantasy-Spectacle “Arthur 2″, in which
Bill lent his voice – again – to the main character of the
movie. Beforehand, Markus Tschiedert met him for an interview at the
Ritz Carlton.
For the second time you lent your voice to the gnome Arthur. Do you like your speaking voice?I don’t like to hear me talk at all, I don’t even watch my
own interviews. However, I’m already used to my singing, and
because of the Sound Technology you can also control it more. While
speaking, one also says things without thinking about them.
This time, Arthur experiences his first love. How does it look for you?I think it’ll never happen to me, and nothing changed regarding
this topic. I hope I won’t be proved right with this, but at the
moment it’s my realistic judgement. When I look back on the last
five years, then there wasn’t a chance to fall in love. There are
no dates and I can’t get to know somebody on a normal way. There
simply is no interpersonal contact.
What would your “Dream-person” look like?I can’t picture one! But I surely wouldn’t fasten that on
something physical, like their hair color. But I believe in love at
first sight, I would just know it when she would suddenly stand right
in front of me. Sure, I had some girlfriends, but just ’til I
turned 15. After that I didn’t, which is really not enough for a
20-year old.
Millions of girls are gushing over you. How can you handle the permanent screaming?At live concerts you don’t even notice it, because you make the
music yourself and the earphones in your ears are somewhat protecting
them. On the red carpet it can’t even be loud enough for me.
Do japanese girls scream differently than german girls?Nope, at least I couldn’t hear a difference! Everywhere we go,
the same energy meets us. It would be my nightmare, when the Fans would
just applaud. I need this energy from all the fans, who let out all
their emotions. It gives me a kick.
How do you manage to come down from the hysteria in your private life?Well, there’s no thing like a private life for me anymore. I
don’t have to delude myself. That’s why I don’t go
out that often, and if I do, I always have Bodyguards accompanying me.
Unfortunetly, I don’t have normal contact with people, I would
rather say that I’m afraid of people.
So, you can’t just go out to get some buns…I would love to! There are people who always get me everything, which
was kind of cool in the first two years. But now I would like to decide
myself, what I’ll fill my fridge with. In America I was once at
the super market at 3 p.m, when it was empty. That was, when I noticed,
what things there are that I can buy.
With which things is your fridge filled?Since I’m at home very seldom , it’s just filled with
standard things like bread and topping. I’m very uncomplicated
when it comes to food, and I also don’t like 5-star-restaurant. I
love to eat Pasta and Pizza. My freezer is bigger than my fridge,
there’s where you find a lot of frozen-pizza, which I thaw and
throw in the oven.
You’re always styled. Would the fans recognise you without make-up?In any case! When I drive to the airport, I also dress differently
– with a hat and a jogging suit. But my fans already recognise me
on the tip of my nose.
How long does your styling take?It’s already a routine: With showering and with all the bells and
whistles, about a hour. I’m doing everything on my own, and I
have a big problem with letting other people do these things. Sure,
sometimes I make mistakes and when I see some pics from three years
ago, I also think, how did you dress back then. But there is nothing
which I am ashamed of, because that’s how I felt in those
moments, and that’s okay.
Who is the most important person to you?My family, which keeps me on the ground and without my twin brother
Tom, I couldn’t surive a day. Even if we’re seperated on a
day like this, we call each other. Basically, I’m Tom, we both
don’t feel complete without each other, we need each other.
People like to compare you with Michael Jackson. Are you afraid of ending up the same way?His death was a blatant thing and I don’t even want to talk too
much about it. Because I think it’s aweful how his death is
getting exploited. Michael Jackson also has the right to be left alone,
and I want to contribute a little to this.
But like Jackson, you also chose a very androgynus appearance…Yes, but that was an automatical developement. I was already running
around differently at school and started dying my hear at the age of
eleven. Shortly after that I started to wear make-up and painting my
nails. I also loved to watch vampire movies as a kid, that’s
probably where I got my inspiration from.
When we’re already talking about Vampires: Robert Pattinson is
a tough competition. Are you a fan of “Twilight”?Absolutely! At the beginning I was skeptcal, when everybody started
telling me about the movie. But then I watched it and I liked it.
How do you deal with the fact that also guys think that you’re great, and that people often say that you’re gay?That’s a thing, which is almost boring me! It happens
automatically, with the way that the society is shaped –
it’s obvious that there are rumours about it. And I think
it’s absolutely okay that boys think that I’m great. Why
not?
